Payson Men’S Golf Low-Net Winners

With the 2009 season winding to a halt, Payson Men’s Golf Association members are preparing to gather Nov. 16 at Diamond Point Shadows to celebrate the culmination of a successful season in which most all the players swung their way to wins, plaudits, prize money and more than a few chortles.

At an Oct. 28 individual low-net tournament, the second to last fray of the season, Jesse Smith continued his solid play winning A flight honors with a 66.

Smith has racked up a long list of accomplishments including winning a point par tournament, taking the low-gross title at a Silver Creek tournament and reaching the semifinals of the PMGA Club championship two years ago.

Trailing Smith in the low-net shootout was runner-up Phil Wagner with a 68.

Former Scottsdale Coronado basketball coach and teacher Herb Sherman dribble drove, fast broke and back screened his way to a 71 and was third.

With a 74, Steve Vincent took fourth.

In B flight, Richard Harding topped all posing a 66.

With a 67, Ed Flores was second and Bill Shedd’s 68 was good enough for third.
